How to use with Angular 2

Step 1: NgModule file

import { NgModule, OpaqueToken }      from '@angular/core';
         
export { Countries, ICountry, 
         Anthems, IAnthem,
         Languages, ILanguage,
         CountriesData, AnthemsData,
         LanguagesData }              from 'countries-data';

export const COUNTRIES_DATA = new OpaqueToken('CountriesData');
export const LANGUAGES_DATA = new OpaqueToken('LanguagesData');
export const ANTHEMS_DATA = new OpaqueToken('AnthemsData');

const providers = [
    { provide: COUNTRIES_DATA, useValue: CountriesData },
    { provide: LANGUAGES_DATA, useValue: LanguagesData },  
    { provide: ANTHEMS_DATA, useValue: AnthemsData }
];

@NgModule({
    providers: providers
})
export class SharedModule { }

Step 2: Component file

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { COUNTRIES_DATA, Countries } from '../../shared/models';

@Injectable()
export class MyService {

    constructor(@Inject(COUNTRIES_DATA) private _countriesData: Countries) { }

    public getCountryPopulation(alpha2: string): ICountryNativeName {
        return this._countriesData[alpha2].population.count;
    }
}

Initial Data Source

The initial json data is part of rinvex country repository.
